Neuro Café 18th January 2023 by Linda S
We were joined by Craig from Alt_movement: an organization which operates out of a private Crossfit training facility and describes their participants as "adaptive athletes", led by fully qualified coaches who specialise in adaptive and alternative methods of training. They support people with a range of learning and physical disabilities and complex needs.
His classes concentrate on ‘ What can you do?’ rather than ‘What can't you do?’
Jay, the very first client, is now a coach. Craig hopes to offer jobs to people with disabilities, also eventually apprenticeships and work experience.
